RichardB Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Aug 9th 1802. Henry Ibbotson and Mary his wife, of Bridgehouses, committed to Wakefield for assaulting and wounding Elizabeth Berry, their niece: " These poor wretches were filled with the idea of being bewitched by the young woman, and had long meditated a plan to draw blood from her, which they fondly imagined would break the charm that afflicted them. Meeting her in our market on Saturday evening;, (7th,) they both at once assailed her; tho wife with her teeth bit her inhumanly in the arm, and the husband with a sharp instrument, stabbed the unfortunate woman in the body." â€"Sheffield Iris.
